there's no style without parsons desk

Ok, I was too harsh with this title...but it shows how much I love the line and versatility of the parsons desk. It is simply a modernist square or rectangular table whose four, square legs are equal in thickness to the top. As far as I know, they can be bought at West Elm and Home renovators - both unavailable for me! And I want that table so badly! Lucky for me, there are some handy men around, who could make the desk for me.

living well in a small apartment

 Let's say you have 30-something square meters apartment, and want to create a multifunctional, relaxing home with a hint of industrial chic combined with natural materials and colours. Use some ideas shown in the apartment below. Dark wood kitchen cabinets without knobs are paired with light oak hardfloor. Oven and microwave are built in the wall. Open bookshelf is used to separate a bedroom from living area, and sofa  is in focus with its interesting pattern. via achados de decoracao

{perfect home No. 34} Nordic maxi coloured

This lovely house features a different kind (my kind) of Nordic décor. It has a white background but it was only used to make the rest of the elements stand out. The huge blank canvas was filled with lots of colourful and vibrant details. Many different colors were combined but they were beautifully balanced. It’s interesting how each room or space has its own palette of colors. The kitchen is mostly white with black and ocher. Then the space continues into the living room where an entire wall was painted ochre. It was combined with turquoise and blue accents and a brown sofa and the contrast is quite beautiful. Adding purple to the palette starts in entryway and continues to the upstairs, where you climb on bright red stairs. Upstairs the palette is calmer, perfect for rest area. Exterior of the house is unspeakably lovely

{DIY idea} houndstooth wall stencil ** {uradi sam} pepito dezen na zidu

The elegance and versatility of houndstooth pattern amazes me. I've wrote about more colourful version of houndstooth stenciled wall before, and this one is equaly great. The owner of this lovely working corner, Aimee, is right when saying it changed the space from bore...to adore. It looks completed, sophisticated and - most important - it sends creative vibe. This stencil is even easy to make at home, so why don't give it a try?

via it's overflowing

Prilagodljivost pepito šare kao i njena svevremenska elegancija me oduševljavaju. Koliko znam, nisam vidjela do sada primjenu na zidu, iako se vratila na velika vrata u sve aspekte dizajna. Veoma mi se dopada kako izgleda u radnom kutku, vizuelno ga odvajajući od ostatka prostorije, i čineći ga kompletnim, bez potrebe za dodatnim uređivanjem slikama i sl. Dezen je toliko jednostavan da se šablon može napraviti i kod kuće. Vrijedi probati, zar ne?

tiny workspaces ** mini radni kutak

 I've gathered some inspiration for creating a corner office in your home. It can be much more adorable than office room, and I love them because it's a challenge to design an effective office in your living room, dining room or bedroom. Hope it inspires you :)

Skupila sam dosta inspiracije za uređenje radnog kutka u okviru dnevne sobe, trpezarije, kuhinje ili pak spavaće sobe. Smatram da mogu biti mnogo simpatičnije od radnih soba a podjednako efektivne. Nadam se da će svako pronaći za sebe neku ideju i realizovati je :)

  

{love this space} organized workspace ** organizovan radni kutak

Love the bones of this space as it's versatile. It's girly and youthful in this case, but it can be decorated modern, or romantic, shabby, retro...you name it. And YOU - Random bookcase - I'll have my hands on you someday...or maybe just copy you for myself :D
Osnova ove radne sobice je odlična, jer se može urediti u stilu kojem zaželite. A polica Random iz MDF-a...biće moja kad-tad...pa makar samo napravila njenu kopiju, ah :D

{love this space}

stari, odbačeni namještaj uz malo boje izgledaće odlično * spretniji mogu od filca napraviti korpu i okrugli tepih nalik točku sreće * kolaž papir ili kartončići obojani u željene boje mogu biti originalna i jeftina umjetnost

{love this space} workspace ** radni kutak

is this very interesting sweet sewing corner or what? simplicity of this space with versatile feminine details totally got me

{vjerujem da se mnoge švalje ne bi složile sa mnom da je ovo zgodan kutak za svakodnevno šivenje...ili možda jeste? :)

jednostavnost ovog prostora sa raznovrsnim detaljima me je prosto očarala}

Tih nekoliko najčešće zapostavljenih kvadrata može se pretvoriti u vašu malu oazu okupanu suncem :)

{love this space} work zone ** radni kutak

{Kutak neodređen isključivo kao prostor za rad, stopljen sa ostatkom stana mada istaknut bojom stola, čini se tako zanimljivim za pisanje pisama, sređivanje kućne papirologije, listanje omiljenih časopisa uz prijatan napitak i blogovanje...iako zbog stolice nije preporučljivo dugo zadržavanje}

attic inspiration ** inspiracija za potkrovlje

There is something so attractive and interesting about the attic, probably due to different ceiling height the space feels more cozy , while interesting structure of the walls and ceiling encourages creativity in decoration of these mostly small apartments with no interior walls. Once the attic was a dark and impractical for living, reserved for those who couldn’t afford better. Now this is a completely different story, with high quality insulation, large windows and plenty of natural light. Slopes of the lowest parts of space can be used for cabinets, racks, shelves or any function where there is no need to stand, like the sofa, bed or desk. The possibilities are great. Here are some pictures of inspiration ...

{Ima nešto u potkrovlju tako privlačno i zanimljivo, vjerovatno zbog različitih visina stropa osjećamo se ušuškanije, a interesantna struktura zidova i tavanice podstiče i kreativnost u uređenju tih najčešće malih stanova bez pregradnih zidova. Nekada su mansarde bile mračna i nepraktična mjesta za život onih koji nisu mogli priuštiti bolje. Sada je to potpuno druga priča, sa kvalitetnom izolacijom, velikim prozorima i obiljem dnevne svjetlosti čak i u najtmurnijim danima. Kosine i najniži dijelovi prostora mogu se iskoristiti za ormare, stalaže, police  ili za bilo koju funkciju gdje nije potrebno stajati,kao npr za sofe, krevet ili radni sto. Mogućnosti su velike. Evo slikovne inspiracije…}                                 read more after jump

{weekend project} cardboard shelf ** {uradi sam} polica od kartona

This would take an hour maximum to make and it's really interesting. I bet you have some shoe boxes by hand, and with a bit of wrapping or scrapbooking paper you can have a lovely shelf for your workspace organizing. I'm already thinking where to put it... Don't you just love ideas this simple?
{Ovo je ideja za maksimum sat posla, i vrlo je zanimljiva. Kutije od obuće su sigurno svima pri ruci...eventualno malo ukrasnog papira, kolaža ili tempere...i eto zanimljive police za radni sto. Vrlo dopadljivo. Upravo smišljam gdje bih ja mogla smjestiti ovu slatkicu...kako se vama čini?}

one home, one story - Paula Scher {1 dom,1 priča - Pola Šer}

Paula Scher is a world class graphic designer whose work is all over New York - logos, posters for big shows as well as hundreds of other designs that make up the visual static of the city. She is also an artist, painting huge, colorful maps with words and zip codes that may or may not be correct. She also participated in designing the Publikum calendar in 2007 in Belgrade, where she got inspired with Cyrillic. It is known that she designed a chandelier, a chair and a coffee table inspired by letters of the Serbian alphabet, but I couldn't find the photos :(
{Pola Šer je grafička dizajnerka svjetskog glasa, a Njujork je prepun njenih radova - logoa, postera za važne događaje kao i stotine drugih radova koji vizuelno upotpunjuju grad. Pola je takođe i umjetnica koja slika predimenzionirane i šarolike mape, načičkane nazivima gradova, mjesta i naselja kao i poštanskim brojevima ne vodeći računa mnogo da li je sve napisano ispravno ili ne. 2007 je učestvovala u dizajniranju dobro poznatog Publikum kalendara, upoznajući se tako sa ćiriličnim pismom. Inspirisana nekim slovima azbuke i abecede dizajnirala je luster, stolicu i klub stočić...ali na žalost, nisam uspjela pronaći fotografije}

organized and multifunctional / organizovano i prakticno

StylishSmall ... Hilda Grahnat's home

Hello everybody! Very interesting, thrifty, vintage, cozy apartment was featured on Apartment therapy recently. Hilda Grahnat is a freelance photographer, graphic designer and flea market addict as she explains on her blog. I find her apartment very cozy, interesting and creative.

color palette...whimsical in color

Color palette for this week is bold, unconventional, whimsical and urban... playing with strong colors and reflecting finishes...telling us about a person with high sense of style, strong character, having always respectful opinions. I would say, this color palette would be perfect in home of an art critique? What do you think?
